Chapter 500 - KILLING EACH OTHER

It wasn't because Serefina wanted to do this, the tendency happened just like that because this was the only less harm way to console her crestfallen heart. Separated them and let them felt a tiny bit of her feeling of hopelessness.

It was unfair and Serefina knew that, but she couldn't help it. After all, she was a creature with feeling and there would be a sudden sharp of painful emotion whenever she watched a mate being together.

This was ridiculous, but also the most humane part of her.

"If there is nothing more, I will go now." Serefina stood up and took her small suitcase. "I don't know when I will return, but after the matter with Kace, I want you to keep looking for your fae mother."

"Why should I see her? After years of searching, I don't think I am going to meet her in my whole life." Lana let out a mocking laugh, her eyes shone with disgust.

"You will need her one day and thank me later." Serefina walked toward the door, stopped for awhile to see Lana's expression.

"What? Now you develop some kind of ability to see the future?" Lana raised her eyes defiantly. She didn't know why Serefina was very adamant for her to keep looking for her mother in the northern coven or wherever the fairies lived.

"I would love to have that kind of ability, but I am afraid I will disappoint you." Serefina shrugged as she flicked her hair from her shoulder. "This suggestion only based on my experience alone, besides you have nothing to lose if you keep looking for her, right?"

Lana didn't answer her immediately, as she still thought that was unnecessary thing to do, but there was a tiny part in her heart, which knew, she was doing the right thing.

This was only, everything that Serefina told her was akin to mystery.

"May you have a good journey with him." Serefina patted Lana's shoulder.

"Are you mocking me?" Serefina should have known, this would be a torture for Lana, but she kept doing whatever her heart wants.

==============  

"Do you really need to go?" Hope asked with sullen expression. She disliked to be away from Kace and hated when it would be a journey only for Kace and Lana. "Lana said she could go alone."

"Yes, she said it." Kace nodded as he cupped Hope's face with both of his hands and raised her head so their eyes could meet. "But, this journey is about me. Don't you think it is unfair for her to do everything alone while I am waiting here and do nothing?"

Hope really wanted to be an ignorance brat and answered it with 'yes', but she knew Kace's intention was right. If it was her, she would do the same thing too.

How could she just sat back and accepted everything readily?

"Serefina said it is a dangerous place." Hope changed the topic.

"Lana and I will be fine. She had been there a few times and Serefina will not allow me to come if the chance for me to come out alive near zero," Kace joked, but Hope didn't take it well. "I will return before the festival." He promised.

He had to return before the festival. No matter what, Kace had to make sure Hope was inside the house during that event and not ventured outside.

With her adventurous and curious personality, it was very possible if Hope didn't even listen to his warning and went all the way to satiate her desire to know one or two new things.

"Can I go with you?" Hope felt stupid for asking this question, as she knew the answer even before the question left her lips.

"You know the answer babe," Kace said regretfully, kissing her temple.

==============

"Why are you so insistent on going to the northern coven with me?" Lana found Kace was eating alone in the kitchen in the middle of the night. At this time, Hope had slept and Kace chose to stay there instead of going back to his own house.

"It is only right if I am the one who is going to find that person. After all, it is my wound that need to be healed." Kace ate his noodles, replying to Lana's question without even lifting his head to meet her in the eyes.

"I don't mind to go alone." Lana took a hesitate step toward Kace.

"I mind." Kace replied curtly, he raised his head and met Lana's eyes.

"You don't need to feel like you owe me something." Lana then remembered what she had said before, "I wouldn't be here if it was not because of you."

Lana regretted it when she brought how she had been taking care of his mate for years. When she thought about it, that really sounded insincere.

Regardless the fact she was jealous of Hope for being his mate, Lana had taken care of Hope like her little sister and one wrong sentence ruined everything.

"I don't want to talk about who indebted to whom." Kace put down her fork and drank from the glass beside him. "My reason behind my decision is very simple."

"That place will be very dangerous," Lana murmured as she sat down across from Kace.

"That only reinforces my reason for not letting you go alone," Kace said simply.

"Stop talking like that." Lana frowned, he shouldn't show any concern for her. "That only makes me hard to ignore you."

"I don't care if you died, but Serefina is not here and I need to take care of the wound on my back." Kace stared at Lana. "Just think like this."

It sounded harsh, but it was better to hear it this way rather than the one with concern.

"This journey will be awkward," Lana mumbled again. "I won't be surprised if we end up killing each other."

"Then we have to finish it before we kill each other." Kace shrugged his shoulder and continued to eat.
